Apple is now selling replacement iPhone parts directly to customers<\/a>, allowing them to repair their own devices rather than paying a professional. But if you were expecting a DIY repair to be a way of saving money, then you might be a little disappointed. Apple\u2019s pricing for some of the most common replacement parts is very similar to what it\u2019ll charge you to do the repairs at an Apple Store, even when you\u2019re the one delicately taking your phone apart to swap out a broken part. Only once you factor in the credit you get for sending in a replaced part do you stand to see a more significant saving.<\/p>\n

Take battery replacements. Apple is charging $69 for a Battery & Screw Kit for iPhone 12 or 13 models and $49 for the same kit for the third-generation iPhone SE. But look at Apple\u2019s site<\/a>, and an out-of-warranty battery replacement costs exactly the same: $69 for the iPhone 12 or 13 and $49 for the iPhone SE. Apple\u2019s press release says it\u2019s selling these parts at the \u201csame price<\/a>\u201d as what it charges its network of repair partners. <\/p>\n

Pricing for display replacements differs a little more, but not by much. An iPhone 12 display and screw kit costs $267.96 when bought directly from Apple, while an out-of-warranty screen repair<\/a> costs $279 for the same phone. For the 12 Mini, the price is $225.96 versus $229 for an Apple repair, while the same replacement part for the 12 Pro Max costs $309.96 versus $329 for an Apple repair. It\u2019s a saving of anywhere from $5 to $20, but it\u2019s not much.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an important caveat here, which is that Apple\u2019s DIY option offers more substantial savings if you\u2019re willing to send back the part that you\u2019ve replaced. An old iPhone 12 or 13 battery, for example, could net you a $24.15 discount according to Apple\u2019s repair site, while the discount offered for a returned display is $33.60. These discounts offer a particularly good deal for battery repairs, where sending in a replaced part could net you a saving of over a third of the price of the repair kit. Apple\u2019s press release says it intends to recycle the parts sent in by customers, though iFixit<\/em> notes<\/a> they could also refurbish them for reuse.<\/p>\n

Even without these discounts, there could still be important reasons to go down the DIY route, depending on where you\u2019re based. Although Apple has hundreds of Apple Stores in the US and thousands of third-party repair partners around the world, there are still many people who don\u2019t live nearby to somewhere that can repair their iPhone and can\u2019t be without their phone for the three to five business days it takes to turn around a mail-in repair. For those people, a DIY repair option could offer a lifeline. <\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s press release makes it clear it doesn\u2019t expect its DIY repair options to be for everyone. \u201cFor the vast majority of customers who do not have experience repairing electronic devices, visiting a professional repair provider with certified technicians who use genuine Apple parts is the safest and most reliable way to get a repair,\u201d its press release reads and cautions that self-service repairs are only meant for \u201ccustomers who are experienced with the complexities of repairing electronic devices.\u201d That could explain why Apple isn\u2019t offering much of a discount to eager customers looking to repair their own phones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
